Flash player for either Konqueror or Firefox?

[Karl Denninger]

Yeah, I got it to load, but it does nasty things.  I've given up on 
Konqueror; Firefox is working with it....

This is something that FreeBSD's X11/KDE folks really need to address.  
That and some of the Java issues; I've got a Java app that installs but 
can't connect back to its server, along with a few other fun things like 
that.
